A treadmill Might Be The Answer To Your Exercise And Health Problems

The treadmill might just be the answer to your weight problems, health problems, bad weather exercise problems and your, I can't exercise because of my bad joints problems.

Maybe you have bad knees, an artificial hip, or other joint problems, or you don't have time to go to the gym. You may be thinking that your days of being able to walk or run for exercise are over.

You could be trying to walk in the neighborhood on the concrete or asphalt, and this might be making every joint in your body hurt. Many people I know have been taking pain killers, using hot patches and even cold patches to ease their sore and aching joints.

I can truthfully say that I feel your pain, because all of the above applies to me. I am a senior citizen and I still want to exercise, but I sure don't want the pain and soreness.

I finally gave up on the walking outside and went to a gym to use the treadmills. This made all the difference in the world to my poor old body.

Even though I could now get a pretty good workout accomplished, some of the machines were very hard to program, jerked a lot when changing speeds and the walking base was pretty hard.

Walking for exercise and weight control is the best for me. My treadmill makes it even better

Why Should You Use A Treadmill For Walking

Walking Is Still Your Best Exercise Option

In spite of what many exercise Gurus say, walking is still considered to be the best and easiest way to get your exercise. It is generally agreed that walking is one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages.

I am in the "older person" category and would not be getting any exercise if I couldn't walk. Most people and exercise instructors will tell you that walking is good for all body types, and levels of fitness.

Walking on a treadmill will provide you with the ability to get an extremely good cardiovascular workout. What I like about it, is the fact that nothing hurts when I have finished my exercise routine.

If you use walking as major part of your health and exercise program you will get many great benefits for your heart, lungs, and circulatory system. In the process you will be increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Burning those fat calories will help you lose weight and keep it off.

Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions and in the comfort and safety of your own home.

Other Reasons To Use A Treadmill

I actually have more reasons that I personally use a treadmill.

Treadmills Are Good For All Ages

Even if you are just starting an exercise routine, treadmills will give you the most flexibility of any other machine.

You can set your own pace, distance, and what you feel your own needs might be. Most machines will offer you the opportunity to track your calories, check your heart rate and some even have hookups for music players and TV's.

Not that I do a lot of TV watching, but, I can get all my exercise done while watching television. If I need to,

I can talk on the telephone

I can also read a book or magazine.

Because of my artificial hip and bad knees, the treadmill gives me a great low-impact walk without the hard pounding contact of a concrete surface.

I used to walk on the roads in my neighborhood, flat and very hard. By the time I got home , my knees and hips were very sore. With the treadmill I no longer have this pain after a workout.

All in all, for people like me and maybe you, the treadmill is the best way to exercise.
